Q. How does your model
track soil wetness?
A. The antecedent moisture model tracks the soil wetness using two
techniques:
The first technique
uses the rainfall immediately preceding the storm to track the soil wetness
conditions from recent storms.
The second
technique uses the air temperature to account for seasonal wetness conditions.
(Cooler temperature periods tend to retain more moisture).
These techniques were identified and validated through extensive
analysis of actual system flows from many systems around the state and the
Midwest.
